In
the fall of 2003 I began to search in earnest for information on
Jewish Snitkov. It was dismaying but not unexpected to find
that very little about this active town of over 1000 Jews appears
in English, nor in other languages, nor in photos. There were a
very few
entries in JewishGen's myriad databases and projects. What I
found then
and since is on these pages, and research continues. Although the
current focus is on the final generations of Imperial Russia, more
contemporary information will be included in the future. Little as
there
is, it is important to
publish whatever can be found.
If you are
aware of other sources
of
information, please share them with me and other visitors to these
pages.
If any of you reading
these pages also have roots in Snitkov I
hope you'll not only find something meaningful here, but also
will contribute a paragraph or essay concerning what you
know of your Snitkov ancestors, recent or distant, including their
photos.
